91-93 the rest of the game. He was dealing

[EvanJ]

He threw 89 strikes. The previous time he threw 90 or more strikes was September 26, 2006. The previous time a Yankee threw 90 or more strikes was when Pavano did it on May 17, 2005. Four players from that game also played in yesterday's game, Jeter, Cano, Suzuki, and Ibanez, with Suzuki and Ibanez playing for Seattle then.

Thanks, big guy.

Ace...

Strangely, I enjoy your random stats. Keep it up.

Not an ace, only pitched 8 2/3 .

[Chacon]

Yanks best FA signing ever? He's been money for 4 years now when typically long term contracts to pitchers rarely work out well.

Great job tonight

He was breaking bats like Mo - just one more service he provides.

[nnysiny]

masterful performance. well exceeded my expectations

[JSG]

a true Testicles of Steel performance, capped by the K of Jones and the houdini act bottom 8.

a total throwback 09 "ride on my back" performance, with HM to awesome game behind the plate by RM.

[pleasepassthesoup]

Maybe that DL stint was a blessing in disguise. CC looked fresh last night.

[JDPNYY]

the only good thing about his performance this season is that we can no longer pretend we have an ace on our staff going forward.

CC never had that vibe to me and this gutless performance just cemented it.

Can we start pretending again?

[snapple]

CC on a tear? During the postseason? Oh my balls are tingling

Yanks best FA signing ever?
Great job tonight

This was known back in 2009.

“CC is a bad ass, write that down,’’ Nick Swisher said of the Yankees’ ace, who went 82/3 innings, giving up two runs and eight hits.

i wish that was 82/3 innings.

[EvanJ]

i wish that was 82/3 innings.

Yeah, 82/3 = 27 1/3. I read that on the SAT (which may have changed since then) they only gave you four spots including spaces and computation symbols. If the answer was 8 2/3 (which would take more spots than you had available) and you filled in 82/3 you got it wrong. You needed to express 8 2/3 as the improper fraction 26/3.

Leave it to Swish to dispense with the pleasantries.

What the hell?

[Mr Coffee]

This is only the third time since 1918 that a guy named EvanJ made a post that didn't include obscure baseball statistics and/or trivia.

[unfamous loser]

I'm not sure whether you're taking a shot or not, but I like EvanJ's "weird" stats and trivia.

he adds more to the board than people who argue we should not be pretending CC's an ace (whatever that is).

[Mr Coffee]

I like EvanJ's "weird" stats and trivia.

Me too. Sorry if it came off like I didn't.

My post was more of a tribute than a mockery.
